Celem tego artykułu jest streszczenie wiedzy o debacie dotyczącej przynależności terytorialnej i historycznej Koguryo, która wykształciła się na poziomie politycznym i akademickim. Pomiędzy 37 rokiem p.n.e. a 668 rokiem n.e. starożytne Królestwo Koguryo zajmowało ogromny obszar od środkowej Mandżurii do terenów na południe od Seulu. Po 1945 roku, kiedy Korea odzyskała niepodległość koreańscy badacze byli w stanie rozpocząć studia dotyczące ich tożsamości narodowej. Według “ Serial Research Project on the History and Current status of the Northeast Border Region” rozpoczętego w Chinach w 2002 roku, Koguryo było jedynie systemem etnicznym wchodzącym w skład jednej z prowincji w starożytnych Chinach. Poprzez ten rozpoczęty projekt historycy oraz archeolodzy Chińscy chcieli włączyć historię Koguryo do historii Chin, co oczywiście był nie do zaakceptowania przez naukowców koreańskich. Z powodu takiego podejścia obu stron do zaistniałego problemu, oba kraje zostały zmuszone do wykorzystania wykopaliskami archeologicznych oraz uzyskanych zabytków, w celu pokazania związków między przeszłością i teraźniejszością w przypadku historii na linii Koguryo-Chiny, jak i na linii Koguryo-Korea.

기원전 37년부터기원 668년까지 고대고구려왕국은중앙만주에서서울의남쪽에 이르는광대한지역을차지하였다. 1945년 해방 이후에 한국의 학자들은 민족의 정체성에 근거하여 그들의 연구를 시작하였다. 2002년 중국에서 시작된 “동북쪽 변경지대의 역사와 현상에 관한 연구 프로젝트”에 따르면, 고구려는 고대 중국의 동북지역들 가운데 하나였다. 이 프로젝트를통해중국의역사가들과고고학자들은중국의 역사에 고구려의역사를편입시키려 하였지만, 그것은 한국의 학자들에게는 용납될 수 없는 것이었다. 이 문제에 대한 양국의 그러한 접근방법에 따라 두 나라는 얻어진 고고학적 발굴물들과 고대 유적들을 고구려-중국 혹은 고구려-한국의 과거와 현재를 잇는 연결고리라는 것을 증명하려 했다.

The aim of this article is to summarize knowledge regarding dispute about Koguryo territorial and historical affiliation, which occurred on the political and academic level. Between 37 BC and AD 668 ancient Kingdom of Koguryo embraced large area from central Manchuria to south of Seoul. After year 1945, when Korea regained independence Korean researchers were able to begin their studies on the foundation of the national identity. According to the “Serial Research Project on the History and Current status of the Northeast Border Region” started in China in 2002, Koguryo was an ethnic system in one of the provinces in ancient China. Through this project Chinese historians and archaeologists wanted to incorporate history of Koguryo into the Chinese history, which was not acceptable to Korean researchers. Because of such approach from both sides to this issue, both countries were forced to use archeological excavations and obtained relics in order to show the connection between past and present in both, Koguryo-China and Koguryo- Korea history.
